If I were you, I would go OEM on the mounts from what I have read here on the forums.

Yeah bro, I would def go oem mounts. But I guess if you are on a budget, then you gotta do what you gotta do

For what it's worth, those parts will fit a 3rd generation TL with an automatic transmission.
The vacuum port is omitted on the rear mount you picked, which means it won't automatically stiffen under load.

Other members have commented that they think OEM mounts have slightly better ride comfort than aftermarket options.

thanks folks, was more a less just browsing, I don't really want to go with xlr8 mounts due to the vibration concerns, ill have to take a look at the OEM ones and see what kind of price they run at

I agree - go OEM.

It might be worth a shot to post a WTB thread for used motor mounts in good condition to save some money.
People might have a set laying around after upgrading to aftermarket motor mounts.

My front and rear mounts I bought used from AZ members and the side one I just bought at the dealer for $80.

I just replaced the upper transmission mount with one from amazon (DEA) and it has been fine. I heard aftermarket ones should be fine for the transmission mounts.

ya I might try that, on delray all 3 mounts are 270 and thats USD thats like 350 canadian which will translate into around 400 shipped. thats just too much in my opinion and I know for a fact itll most likely be more at my local acura dealer. ill call them tomorrow and see whats up for prices

I know for sure instead of buying OEM for that price, I would get XLR8 mounts.

XLR8 mounts cause a lot of vibration if you get all 3 from what i've read..i dont see there being a huge enough reason to "upgrade"

XLR8 mounts are going to cause additional vibration, that's a fact. They are a higher durometer elastomer that is designed to disperse energy in a completely different manner that's intended for performance when engine load shifts from idle.

If you're comparing a 3rd party replacement to XLR8, I'd highly recommend you seek out exactly what you're expectations are from ride perspective.

I'd do OEM. You can get them reasonably priced if you shop around. No one place has the best price for all of them. If you call dealers or order directly the prices are often higher. I ended up buying 2 mounts off Amazon and 2 off of EBay and they were cheaper there for some reason. Makes no sense but saved at least $150 doing it that way.

I just replaced my Pilot's motor mounts with Anchor and am very pleased with the quality of those mounts and a distinct price advantage over OEM.

link: anchor-online.com : welcome to anchor industries
U.S. made
part numbers: 9247 (front), 9297 (front right), 9451 (rear).
Rock Auto price: $34.79 + $21.79 + 48.79 => $105.37 + tax/shipping

The pricing of the TL mounts was similar to my Pilot- I get all 3 mounts for the list price of one OEM mount. The OEM's rupture at 70-90k miles and I didn't think a 3x premium was worth it.

I went with the xlr8 motor mounts when I had them installed I left out the rear mount with the stock mount. Not a lot of vibration and it's just right And better upgrade over the stock mount.

Our mounts will cause some vibrations as they are designed to be stiffer than the oem rubber mounts. They usually take a couple thousand miles to break in, which really helps reduce the vibrations. Most of the vibration also happens at an idle, but once the car is moving it goes away. Our mounts are offered in 62a abd 75a and were engineered with longevity, performance and value in mind. They are available for $300 not including shipping.
